Im glad he's out for Christmas and what not, but only one figure doesnt give a bright outlook for many more figures in the series. How many cases of a single figure of say Jasper can you sell? Or Carlisle? You know?

He looks ok, but not as good as I hoped he would though he is ok. I really hope that if these sell well the will make a series with more than one charter per series.

I was at my F.Y.E. store today and they had one left and I bought him I was so excited. He looks so good in person though he was $19.99. I really hope they see how well these are selling and make the rest of the Culles, Bella, James, Lourant, Victoria, and Jacob.

I would love to post pics but i have no digital camera at the mo! Anyway he is very nice in my opinon, well sculpted and reasonable apperance with relation to the actor. I too hope that it sells well enough to make some of the other characters, perhaps they could double some of the characters up in later lines, for example Alice and Jasper in a case.

I just opened him today and I am very happy. He is a very sturdy figure and has good paint applications. Thought the way they sculpted his legs make it a little hard for him to stand and I don't like the material that they made his hair out of. I just really hope they make more figures..

i cant belief he's out! I thought it was pushed back till Feb 09!! Better go call some stores! And they had better make Jasper and Alice! As for those of you asking about the crests on ebay: not sure if you are still looking for info, but be careful!! A lot of people are selling fake crest stuff they made out of paper and resin. very icky. The real ones are cool. I have Rosalie's necklace and wear it everyday. Getting Edward's cuff and Alice's choker for xmas and I am told by those that bought those for me that they are beautiful! And if anyone is interested....I make Bella's Charm bracelet from Eclipse! With wolf and heart charms, very pretty! Let me know if anyone would be interested. I make them in custom sizes....ok. done pimping myself...but hey, it's about merchandise! hehe ETA: EDWARD COMFORTER!!! friend posted these: c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/41/l_54e08ed6290e43018e5be9e6000dba4b.jpgAnd Got my edward figure plus an extra. My stores here still have some, so let me know if you need one!

Got Edward today, he's good! Glad to see more NECA figures but wish they would've released more characters. Maybe this is just a test to see how well they sell than they'll create more. Hopefully.

Well the F.Y.E store usually has higher prices for action figures and I don't usually buy my figures there, but since no other stores around me are going to get them I just bought him. Plus if I would have bouhgt him on Ebay they are going for over $30 + shipping.

Has anyone contacted Neca asking if they are making more figures?

Well all figure prices are rising due to rising production costs, but Edward being high probably has a lot to do with being a single figure with a lower production run .... plus I think a little bit of trying to cash in on the 'all-things-Twilight' on NECAs part.
Personally I think such a high price point on a single figure is a joke. Even though the sculpt is good, it's just a single figure with one accessory (I assume it's just a crest or something?) Especially when you think about some of NECA's other releases ... like the Potter Grave set that was two figures and an awesome base for around $40. I hope this isn't going to be a trend that spills over into NECA's other lines, since quality is still hit or miss with every release and accessories and bases are becoming rarer and rarer.
For all the Twilight fans I hope NECA does come through and release more figures, but with a high price point like this, and not at least doing a Edward/Bella wave to start, I think they might have shot themselves in the foot a bit in terms of using this figure to test the waters.

He is a pre-order there. No online store has him. I think they are releasing these now for these reasons:
1. Christmas 2. To see how he sells 3. To see how many they sell without the use of online stores
I think there will be more released within the new year. All online stores have him for January and some for February. I hope his price drops down though. JBrow is right. $20 for the Edward figure and some plastic crest is way too much.

Yeah I agree that $20.00 was pretty high for one figure, but I figured if I got him off the internet her would be around $15.00 plus shipping so I figured I might as well just buy him from the store.

I agree that its expensive, too expensive, but when I saw it in the store, and knew I wouldnt have to pay either $30 on eBay or shipping from another site I grabbed it!

Tonner Bella and Edward will be $139.99 each. Not too bad a price for Tonner.
